In the past few months, the program has gained media attention after numerous "micro-influencers" with anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand followers were accepted into the program, Business Insider recently reported .
Business Insider's Lauren Johnson recently obtained a leaked document that breaks down the commission structure of the program. It showed that commissions are as high as 10% on Amazon's private-label fashion items and as little as 1% for video games and consoles.
"There are people that make $100 a day it's just for side money, it's not something to get rich off," Samuel Torres, an influencer who joined the program in mid-December, told Johnson. Yet, he said, "This program really has potential for big earners."
